IGGI: Turning Desktop Machines into Dynamic Clusters

Mandrakesoft, BRGM, and INRIA will participate in IGGI, a research project aimed at developing technologies to turn any network of commodity desktop machines into a cluster. The goal is to leverage unused computing power, so that any computer network can be turned into a dynamic cluster. Applications are not limited to scientific computing and include enterprise computing components such as data-mining and CRM. Mandrakesoft's role in the project is to adapt its Linux technologies to the requirements of the project.
